Soldier shot had blood alcohol level 2.5 times the legal limit

The medical examiner says the Schofield Barracks soldier shot to death by police in Waikiki Tuesday morning had a blood alcohol level 2.5 times over the legal limit.

22-year-old Gregory M. Gordon had a blood alcohol level of 0.196. The legal limit for driving is 0.08. He died from a loss of blood from a gunshot wound to the shoulder as well as his heart and lungs, according to the medical examiner.

A Honolulu Police Department investigation revealed that a replica handgun was found in the search in the truck Gordon was driving. HPD did not say if Gordon used the replica in the shooting incident.

Forty years ago, one of the greatest boxing matches in history took place in an unlikely setting: the capital of the Philippines. Muhammad Ali's epic win over great rival Joe Frazier in 1975 became known as the "Thrilla in Manila."
